When intra-articular damage is si!:,rnificant 'vvith pain, instability, and loss of flexion are indication for arthroplasty. Excision arthroplasty
\\'ith interposition of soft tissue has ben perfonned for nwny years, and Kimura and Yainio (1976) reported on 208 such operations. The joints were painless in 65% to 81°/o of cases depending on the type of resection, but weakness of extensor, and instability sometimes required external support, and residual pain was a problem in some-patients (Rydlwlm et al., 1984).
